I ordered the samsung captivate from walmarts web site for $229, a little while ago i got an email saying it was canceled. when i called they said it was a bug and that the off contract price was a bug. the actual price of the off contract captivate is 499 just like the vibrant. too bad.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Mine has not been cancelled yet and I jumped on it as soon as the thread for that opened (7am).
[Captivate General] droiddadi:
Mee too ordered it haven't received cancellation mail yet might be coming any time
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Went to Best Buy and convinced them to price match it. Woot! $229 with no contract! Apparently I got really lucky.
[Captivate General] justdrew:
anyone know if the retail price will drop from 599, if it does it will be cheaper at amazon
[Captivate General] nxt:
Lucky bastard. What did you show them as Walmart's price?
[Captivate General] blazewit:
the retail off contract price is 499. dont buy it if they're trying to charge 599
[Captivate General] blazewit:
"Went to Best Buy and convinced them to price match it"

that is possibly the smartest thing ive ever heard...you sob lol!

I really hope I can swing this when I get back into town. If I can't get a Captivate for less than $350, I'm SOL.

Let's say I have to do a reset and for some reason lost a backup. Can paid apps be downloaded and installed again?
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
It is my understanding that as long as you re-register your phone under the same account you can always redownload them in the downloaded section of the market
[Captivate General] nxt:
As long as you use the same Google Account yes.

Just go to Market, then Downloads, and all your purchased apps will already be listed there marked "Purchased" and you can re download them.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Great. Thanks.

Hmmmm.....there must be a sticky somewhere with all these basic questions answered. Problem is knowing which forum/thread to find them.

I'd like to spend an hour reading a tutorial or sticky thread for new users to Android. May prevent a lot of other simple questions like this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aikeru:
I'll give my question first, then the history. I tried to search the EVO 4G subforums and couldn't seem to find it. :( If there's a post on this please kindly point me in the right direction.

Regardless of which ROM I install on my EVO except for what I understand is the engineering ROM or possibly the stock ROM, I go into a boot loop.

History:

- Did not install any updates or use unrevoked after receiving my EVO

- Did the root method known as "part 1" before NAND unlocking was available, never did any system updates. It seemed I had root because I was able to use the sudo "allow" or "deny" and use Wifi Tether in AP mode successfully (the open source APK)

- Was having some random reboot issues so I decided I needed to finally get an updated, custom ROM on my phone

- Yesterday spent many hours trying to get SimpleRoot to root my phone. However, ROM Manager keeps complaining it can't do privileged commands

- I was able to get Clockwork Recovery onto my phone finally using Unrevoked 3 just to get it on there (with what I know as the engineering ROM)

- Used clockwork to try and install Fresh 1.0.1, DamageControl v3.1.2 or seemingly anything other than that same engineering ROM (that has the HTC logo and sound) puts it into a boot loop. Also Clockwork (the APK) complains it still can't run privileged commands on that ROM from SimpleRoot.

I've been flashing a Kaiser/Tilt since forever but still pretty newb on Android but trying to learn fast. :) Love my EVO!

If there is any more information I can provide to help someone help me please let me know and hopefully this can help others not go astray as I have...

EDIT: Oh, yes and I read some of the troubleshooting information for different ROMs and one said to reformat sd-ext but my SD card is just formatted how it comes from the factory. I would really like to keep it that way unless it is a must for installing custom ROMs on the EVO. Clockwork did not seem to be able to do the partitioning for me.

EDIT: Now resolved after following thoroughly the directions listed here:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aikeru:
Thank you for your quick reply! I will try it and report back what I did, what works/didn't.

As a side note...

Since I have Clockwork on the recovery (I can boot to recovery all day long just using volume up and clockwork is there) doesn't that mean NAND is unlocked? Anyway, thank you again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -shift-:
having a boot recovery program doesn't necessarily mean you have nand unlocked. the ability to flash custom roms does though. good luck! i know it's frustrating, but keep at it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tredden1:
Hi all,

I just broke my screen:( the question I have is this, I have an att fuze branded Raph, and since the screen is broken and I am going to replace it I was wondering if anyone knows weather or not I could put a Touch Pro screen on with the front facing cam and the hardware would work. I don't know if there is a missing socket or missing support for the cam in the roms but I thought it might simply be an issue like the radio player was at release where a simple cab would fix. My phone is still usable for now but I plan to fix within a couple days so any knowledge would help me make the decision on which screen to buy.

Thanks for any help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vk2bea:
This theme is for the DeskClock.apk (regular clock widget) supplied with Enomther's 2.14.4 ROMs (& 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13).

Although I've made it for Enom's ROM but it will probably work with most Nexus One FroYo ROMS (let me know what you find).

This style is modeled on the famous clock used by the Swiss Railways.

The android widget doesn't have a second hand (the sweeping red hand pausing at the minute would have been nice :( ).

It's a minimalist but easily read analog clock.

You need to reboot to see the changed widget. (I couldn't workout what directive forces metamorph to do this!)
[General Questions and Answers] antoninus9:
Is there any way to make a Windows Mobile 6.1-6.5 phone prioritize the MicroCell over the macro AT&T network?

I've tried using my unlocked HTC Fuze to view all available networks and it only sees T-Mobile and AT&T even when sitting next to the MicroCell and being connected to it.

My aim is to force the phone to choose the MicroCell even if a better signal is available from the macro cell tower. This would allow me to cut back on my cell minutes because most of my phone use is at home. Unfortunately, if I walk around inside my house with my phone it switches away from the MicroCell to a macro cell.

I would also like to be able to do this with my wife's iPhone.
[Droid X General] iRMac:
Has anyone else noticed that the stock motorola launcher sometimes reloads itself and becomes unresponsive for a few seconds?
[Droid X General] iRMac:
Really no help?

I've noticed all the widgets sometimes disapear and it seems like they reload themselves but it slows down the phone and I'm trying to figure it out.
[Droid X General] orcsbane13:
Mine only does that if i use a task killer, which i don't use anymore, and sometimes when i take it off the dock.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cruelsniper:
I recently bought App Vault, hoping to stow away and hide some applications I didn't exactly want cluttering my application drawer. In the process, I hid the Superuser Permissions application. Unfortunately, little did I know that this application actually disables any hidden applications instead of just hiding them. Now my phone cannot achieve root access, which was needed for the app in order for me to stow applications in the drawer, so I cannot undo my procedure via App Vault. I tried just restoring my latest backup, however, I do not have root access evidently, so I can also not access the clockwork recovery.

Any ideas of how I can fix this debacle?

Thanks for everyones help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oDeACoNo:
Hrm i'd try reflashing the current ROM your using if it includes the superuser.apk you should be ok. Possibly uninstall the app vault prior to this. Not sure what phone / ROM your running but this way work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cruelsniper:
Thanks for the help!

I had to reflash the recovery image, the cyanogen's latest, and the Google apps and I was fine. All worked fine. Now I know not to stow the super user app...
[Vibrant General] wbexpress:
When I first got it, I thought that "maybe" I wouldn't even root it, but very quickly I felt the lag. Knowing that you can do a lot of stuff with root apps like Auto Memory Manager, Titanium, Set CPU, Cache Mate, Autostarts and the good old Terminal Emulator, just to name a few, and finding out how easy it was to do so, that was an easy decision. I just read some guy's take on ROMs, and the old saying "it ain't broke" seems to fit, at least for now. I've read a whole lot of stuff, most of it confusing for a mid-knowledge guy like myself. I think I'm waiting for something similar to what the main guys like Ben, Cyan and others have put out for Eclair, that were fairly simple downloads & flashes. I checked the MoDaCo site and got totally lost, looking at all the preliminary gyrations, twists & turns and possibilities for screwing it all up:confused:. Is there anything out there yet that is "simple" in the context I mean it? I know it's early, and the phone has some inherent challenges, but ultimately it seems the floodgates will open? Anyone with similar thoughts or disagreements? Thanks...
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
I'm also rooted but patiently waiting for a port of cyanogen's rom. But I haven't heard any news about it yet. =(
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
without a recovery all noobs are lost...

with adb/ or fastboot you could push what you want to your phone... build your ROM inside the device.... but until we have a custom recovery no flashing ROMs

OP dont worry... some high-knowledged 16 year old will make a simple click method for your mid-knowledged brain... Then you can start asking different questions in the Gen section...

like... "how do I get apps2sd on my vibrant?"--- we dont need it... we got a 2gb partition on the internal memory
[Vibrant General] diaa08:
the lag issues are mostly due to the way the phone stores your program data. you don't need a kernel or really even any of those other apps at all. check out this:

[Vibrant General] sombionix:
We seriously need a moderator in the dev section, its getting out of control with all of these dumb questions that belong in the general area. Read the forum rules for posting in the correct area people, you're cluttering the wrong section!
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
The rules also say to be respectful. You can tell someone they posted in the wrong place without being rude about it.

Besides, Development requires research, research requires experimentation, and experimentation often comes from or causes questions.

It's all semantics, but calling someone's question dumb is getting close to "2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior."

On topic: There is not official blanket MOD for the US version that anyone seems to be talking about, MoDaCo is for the international version only, I tried to get to work but it caused me too much headache to be doing late at night and I worked to get it back to a stockish feeling.

If you don't want to fiddle with it yourself, I suggest waiting, there are plenty of posts here even of people working on mods and/or the stepping stones.

I used iGO 8 for windows mobile in my HTC Diamond. It was by far the best navigator I have used and I think I have tried them all.

iGO My Way for android which is only available for 480x320 is exactly the same product as Motonav. Same functionality,, small graphical differences. Unfortunately not even close to iGO 8 functionality. For me Navigon is the best one right now but after using iGO 8 everything is a disappointment...
